Description from owner
Description
La Cathedrale apartment is within the grand house of Hôtel de Gensac. Built around 1735 this 'hôtel particulier' (private mansion) is one of the historic and architecturally important houses of the town. During the Hundred Years' War, King Edward III installed his son as the administrator of this region of France. Known later by the sobriquet 'The Black Prince', the ruins of his palace chapel still remain as part of the mansion's fabric, helping to warrant its inclusion on one of the town's historic-sites walks.
This large apartment (130m2) is on the first floor and is spacious enough for permanent occupancy sleeping six comfortably. Both bedrooms are equally large and airy with east facing windows overlooking the gardens. Bedroom one has a large double bed and an en suite WC and basin. The other has two small doubles. Original marble fireplaces with mirrored stucco panelling, French furnishings with armoires and Egyptian cotton bed linen all go toward creating an atmosphere of comfort and restrained elegance. Opening off the wide central corridor, the 30 square metre, high ceilinged sitting room is tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished with double aspect windows giving a fine view of the Cathedral over red rooftops. The seating for six and the television make this room a perfect place to relax after a days sight seeing.
The Cathedrale apartment is accessed from the patio which is itself accessed via a gate opening onto La Petite Rue, Hotel de Ville. Unloading is allowed there but parking is in the public parking area 50 metres away. The patio is a private communal area for the apartments. Our private 6m x 12m pool and surrounding paved area is available to guests between 10.00am (10.00 hrs) & 6pm (1800hrs). Although the pool is accessed through the gardens, the gardens themselves are not available to guests.
Leave the apartment by its secure private gate and you are at once in the typically Gascon town of Condom - rich in history, ancient buildings, museums and Roman artefacts. It is dominated by the magnificent cathedral of Saint-Pierre and dissected by the River Baîse, still with the quays once used to load barges with Armagnac brandy en route to Bordeaux. Restaurants and cafes abound to suit all tastes and pockets. Good shops and a twice-weekly market are very close by for all self-catering needs.
Just outside the town lies the beautiful countryside of The Gers - the very heart of Gascony. No suburbs, no industry, just gently rolling, well farmed fields and woodland interspersed with Bastide villages, fortified towns, ancient religious buildings, Chateaux and Gallo-Roman sites. They are all there to be savoured and enjoyed by those with an interest in history and a love and appreciation of countryside, culture, architecture, good eating and, above all, a joie de vivre!

On arrival, a welcome pack (milk , bread, butter and a bottle of wine) will be available in the fridge.
